His passion for art was evident from his childhood and continues to this day.
He likes to call himself self-taught, although over the years, he has taken courses at St. Martins in London and Upter in Rome, where he learned to master painting techniques and the use of various materials to create his works.
His influences are part of a past that has left us a wealth of cultural influence, and I am referring to the Roman school of Piazza del Popolo. Among them are Tano Festa, Mimmo Rotella, and Mario Schifano. His art draws inspiration from these masters but at the same time reworks and reinterprets them in a highly personal way, creating reinterpretations of classical works (as we can see in the works on display), sometimes using collage on a background prepared with acrylic paints, enamels, and spray cans, and sometimes using stencils.
Over the years, Stefano has created a large number of works, some of which have been exhibited in various art galleries, showrooms, and venues in Italy and abroad. His works are included in the private collections nationally and abroad.
Some of his works have participated in various competitions, achieving considerable success. Just a few years ago, his work, titled WE HAVE FAITH, was recognized by a panel of experts, placing third in a competition organized by the newspaper Metro.
He recently held a solo exhibition at the Nilde Iotti Library in Cerveteri, curated by the cultural association IN Arte, and has participated in a series of group exhibitions at the Sala Ruspoli and Palazzo Torlonia. His latest solo exhibitions were held at the Sala Ruspoli in Cerveteri and the cryptoporticus of the Grottaccia in Ladispoli.
